What signals the difference between a "socialist" and a "communist"? It's the gradual repression of political and civil liberty culminating in the open prosecution and suppression of dissident views. But this suppression cannot come about until a monopoly has been established over access to the seats of government executive and decision making power. The key manifestation of this monopoly is of course some form of party dictatorship.

Aside from all the evidence in his known background, associates, policy preferences and political actions one of the main reasons I make bold to call Obama a communist is his grab for unchecked partisan control over the conduct of the next census. Skillful manipulation of the census could make the decisive contribution to establishing an electorally unchallengeable party monopoly, which would then provide the basis for consolidating party dictatorship. If such dictatorship were not part of their agenda, the Obama faction would leave ultimate oversight of the census process where the Constitution places it in the hands of the legislative branch. As it clearly is part of their agenda, only ignorance or willful stupidity blinds people to Obama's ambition to establish a better tailored version of Soviet-style government in the U.S.

Of course, there may be another name for what keeps some of the so-called Republicans from speaking out about it. Could it be cowardice?

According to my sources at the DNC, they are starting a new national campaign called “Organizing America”. If that isn’t something out of the Communist Manifesto I don’t know what is. The GOP has got to unite and offer something that can stop this campaign dead in its track. For starters, the name itself could rally some opposition from moderates and lead them to a more rational RNC campaign.

Dr. Keyes had better watch his back. These communists hes talking about are pretty ruthless.

A personal story you might find interesting:

I was with Alan in Denver during the Democrat National Convention. He gave four speeches in two days to various groups around the city. One was to the assembled Minutemen. We walked onto the park grounds where the rally was taking place and there were about a half dozen Minutemen security guys standing together praying. They saw Dr. Keyes and came over to us and greeted him. One of them asked who was handling his security. Alan looked at me, smiled, and then turned back to the gentleman and said, "you were just over there talking to Him."

The Minutemen looked at him blankly for a second, until it sunk in what he was talking about. When it dawned on them, the look on their faces was pricelesss.

The God of my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, My stronghold and my refuge; My Savior, You save me from violence.

- he is directly associated with the radical ideology of two Marxist figures (Frank Marshall Davis and Saul Alinsky)

- his party seeks to silence dissent, opposition, and criticism, smearing the critics

- his policies will bankrupt the country and destroy the economy

- his election was hailed by Socialists, Communists, and enemy foreign powers

- he is alienated from American Christian culture and normal Americans whom he regards as "bitter" losers clinging to guns and religion

- he seethes with racial resentments

- he is the most radical left-wing figure ever to occupy the White House

- his first major act in office was to use U.S. tax dollars to fund abortions abroad in foreign countries

- a large portion of the American voters who elected him were not informed of his radical connections and past by the mainstream media

- he is a demagogue, making appeals to class warfare to the detriment and harm of the country

- his policies will saddle future generations with trillions of debt

It is, in short, exactly as we warned on FR throughout the presidential campaign. And worse. He is well on his way easily to becoming the worst and most disastrous president in U.S. history with the largest debt and worst economy.

The Census is always under the control of the party in the White House. I don’t get what difference it makes whether the Commerce Department runs it or whether the White House runs it, its still Democrats for 2010.
I kinda wish Republican Judd Gregg had taken the job at Commerce just to be in those Cabinet meetings when the Census is under discussion in his role as Commerce Secretary, now Gates at Defense and LaHood at Treasury will be the only Republicans in the room.
